Diffusion 19F-NMR of Nanofluorides: In Situ Quantification of Colloidal Diameters and Protein Corona Formation in Solution
The NMR-detectability of elements of organic ligands that stabilize colloidal inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) allow the study of their diffusion characteristics in solutions. Nevertheless, these measurements are sensitive to dynamic ligand exchange and often lead to overestimation of diffusion coefficients of dispersed colloids. Here, we present an approach for the quantitative assessment of the diffusion properties of colloidal NCs based on the NMR signals of the...
Detection of unrealistic molecular environments in protein structures based on expect
Abstract Understanding the relationship between protein structure and biological function is a central theme in structural biology. Advances are severely hampered by errors in experimentally determined protein structures. Detection and correction of such errors is therefore of utmost importance. Electron densities in molecular structures obey certain rules which depend on the molecular environment. Here we present and discuss a new approach that relates electron densities computed from a structural model to densities expected from prior observations on identical or closely related molecular...
